Adding Extra fan to my Corsair H50

[johnyt]

Hi,

Just got my H50 this morning. It comes with a 120mm fan to blow air across the radiator. The radiator has threaded screw holes on both sides. It only come with 4 screws but the whole unit is not really that heavy. I was thinking if it would be worth using just 2 of the scews to mount it to the case and the other 2 to mount an aditional 120mm fan on the other side. Obviously blowing air in the same direction.

Or would I gain anything by doing away with the fan included and using 1 or 2 Noctua NF-P12's instead?

The P12's would be significanly quieter (and have mounting plugs inc)

Remember to have the fans as extract (taking air out of the case) not intake like the reviews of this system .
You would have been better off sticking with air cooling at that price tbh but enjoy your new harware.

I would be interested if you could share the performance of this unit once you have it installed and tested. Also how quiet is it?
